Last summer I spent a week hiking through the olive groves of Lesbos and lost track of time.

When someone shouted 'lesbos' across the bar, others immediately called it out as a hurtful slur.

She identified as a lesbian and asked others to use respectful language.

People at the music festival called her a lesbosexual for wearing a flannel shirt and short hair, even though her sexual orientation was private.

Local lesbosexuals organized a community support group to discuss shared experiences.
